Accessibility
This site is built to be readable by everyone, on anything — a screen reader, a ten-year-old phone, a text browser over packet radio.
What that means in practice:
- No JavaScript. Every page is plain HTML and CSS. Nothing requires scripting to read or navigate.
- Semantic structure. One
h1per page, headings in order, a skip link to the main content as the first focusable element. - Contrast. Body text meets or exceeds a 4.5:1 contrast ratio in both the light and dark color schemes, which follow your system preference.
- Fonts and motion. System fonts only — nothing downloads. There is
almost no motion, and
prefers-reduced-motionis respected regardless. - Keyboard. Everything interactive has a visible focus indicator.
- Plain text. Every week of the Linux User Net list is also
published as a
.txtfile, and both the site and the net list have Atom feeds. - Print. Pages print cleanly — net control sometimes needs the week on paper.
Found something that doesn't hold up? Please say so — on groups.io or via a GitHub issue. It will get fixed.
